TVora 0.1.5

TVora 0.1.5 keeps your home-screen settings intact when you change its look.

Changes since 0.1.2

• Keep Bluetooth and Arrange apps shortcuts, hidden apps and app order when changing wallpaper or look.
• Preserve existing wallpaper files during dock and shortcut edits.
• Improve trusted TV reconnection and interrupted-operation recovery.
• Improve theme delivery and the dock's launchable-app list.
• Protect required remote, update and setup services on additional TV profiles.
• Fix older Android compatibility, user-0 installation and fresh-state checks before restoring.

Verified

• 819 automated tests passed; Android lint, release build and GitHub CI passed.
• Tested on MiTV-AXSO0 using TVora 0.1.5 on a Motorola edge 50 pro: look/layout changes, ON/OFF shortcut preservation, dock reordering, wallpaper-file preservation and reopening/reconnecting the app.
• The original TV configuration and all 113 package states were verified after testing.
• Existing UI, animations and signing identity are preserved.

Install

Download TVora-v0.1.5.apk below and install it over your existing TVora app. No uninstall is needed. The APK uses the same signing certificate as previous official releases.

TVora 0.1.2

TVora 0.1.2

• Cards and modules are removed from setup and dashboard navigation; add-on downloads are disabled.
• A new-version banner checks TVora's own GitHub releases and opens the release page. Settings also offers Check for updates. No paid server is used.
• Settings now includes Star the GitHub repository, Made by Namya Mehta and Contact via Telegram (t.me/Techyeye).
• TVora's changelog now follows its own release versions; upstream history is preserved separately.
• Privacy, security contact and signing instructions are updated. CI also checks the optimized release build and support/update UI.

Uses the existing glass components and interaction motion. TV cleanup, launcher layout and the verified restore handoff are preserved.

Install or update

Download TVora-v0.1.2.apk below and install it over the official existing TVora APK. Signing identity and application ID are unchanged, so existing restore records and pairing remain available. Do not uninstall first.

Update checks become available after installing this version; older versions without an update checker need this one manual update.

Checks

Version comparison, public-release validation, response size limits, module navigation gates, support URLs and update actions have regression coverage. Both app flavours, flow tests, Android lint, module boundaries and the optimized release build are checked before publication. The original cleanup/restore/reboot flow has been verified on MiTV-AXSO0, with owner-confirmed working use on two TVs.

Recovery remains for supported recorded changes. GitHub and Telegram open only through the app's stated update/support/contact actions; no analytics or developer-operated server is added.

TVora 0.1.1

Restore now finishes on your original Home

After Undo everything, TVora now opens your TV's original Home automatically after all launcher/theme cleanup. Previously the original Home was restored as default, but the added launcher could remain visible until you pressed Home on the remote.

• Works when keeping the added launcher as an ordinary app or removing it.
• Repeated restores also open the recorded original Home.
• No changes to cleanup selections, Home layout, pairing or backup formats.

Install or update

Download TVora-v0.1.1.apk below and install it on your Android 9+ phone. Existing TVora 0.1.0 release users can install this update over it; keep app data so restore records and pairing stay available. No GitHub account is needed.

The APK uses the same development signing identity as the official 0.1.0 release. GitHub Actions debug artifacts may use a different key; use the APK attached to this release for updates.

Verification

• Regression tests cover cleanup ordering, kept/removed launchers, an already-restored Home and missing original Home records.
• Planner, engine, backup, flow and app suites plus Android lint are checked before publication; Linux CI includes the exported restore shell tests.
• The preceding 0.1.0 cleanup, restore and reboot cycle passed on a MiTV-AXSO0 (Android 9): all 112 original package states matched the baseline. This test exposed the screen-handoff issue fixed here. The owner has now tested TVora 0.1.1 and confirmed that the original Home opens automatically after restore. Working use is confirmed by the owner on two TVs: MiTV-AXSO0 and MiTV-MOOQ1.

Recovery covers supported recorded changes, not firmware or app logins/data.

TVora 0.1.0

TVora 0.1.0 is the first packaged release of the Android TV companion app.

Download TVora-v0.1.0.apk and install it on your Android phone (Android 9 or newer).
Uses the same package and signing identity as the earlier directly distributed TVora APKs.
Automatically generated Actions debug artifacts can have a different signer; use this release APK.
SHA256SUMS.txt contains the APK checksum. Private keys and TV backups are not included.

Included

• Glass TV icon, original glass interface, Outfit typography and interaction motion.
• App order and visibility, photo wallpaper, Inputs, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth shortcuts.
• TV remote arrangement: enable Home screen → Quick buttons → Arrange apps on TV, then
  tap Done. On the TV, open the arrows button: OK picks up an app, arrows move it,
  Back places it, and Back again finishes.
• Adding or moving apps preserves the theme's dock spacing and title. Extra rows scroll below it.

Restore verification and fix

• 500 local tests cover operation ordering, planner apply/undo, crash/resume, backup integrity,
  restore confirmation, incomplete recovery and app integration.
• Incomplete, skipped, rolled-back or abandoned restores no longer display success or erase
  launcher metadata. Factory-reset preparation with skipped steps is not reported ready.
• The Linux workflow also runs exported shell recovery scripts against simulated TVs, including
  baseline comparison, wrong-TV refusal, dry run and failed-step handling.
• Release checks
• Restore coverage and limits

Recovery scope

Restore reconstructs supported changes recorded by this app. It is not a backup of firmware,
app data, logins, earlier manual cleanup, or older wallpaper. Keep the phone's app data and
export Restore point → Save a copy. Existing pre-TVora cleanup needs its original backup.

Update, 2 November 2026: cleanup, restore and reboot have been verified on MiTV-AXSO0
(Android 9), and the owner confirms working use on two TVs. Use TVora 0.1.1
for the fix that opens the original Home automatically after restore; the owner has confirmed it works.

Based on the open-source Clean Your TV app and launcher. Original author credits, MIT notices,
and dependency licenses are preserved.
